IMPROVEMENT IN COOKING-RANG-ES.

The Schedule referred to in these Lettere Patent and making part of the same.

reference beinghad to the accompanying drawings, and tov the letters. ofreference marked thereomwhich form a part of this specification, in 'which- Figure l represents a front elevation of my improved cooking-range.

Figure 2` represents a side' elevation, `with part ofthe casing torn away, exposing to'view the arrangement of Water-pipes and kettle.

Figure 3 is a vertical, central, and side section. Figure 4 is a view of kettle, showing pipes connecting it to the ywaterfback.

The'nature of my invention consists in constructing a cooking-range in `such peculiar form and combination as to particularly adapt it for use in railway sleeping-cars, and other places where space is limited and cooking desirable. A

To enable those skilled in the art to make and use my invention, I Will describev itsconstruction and oper ation.

A is .the {ire-place. The heat passes, in the direction of the arrows, around the oven B, underneath oven-O, and out through iiue W. v

Yis a broiler, hinged at y, so that it may be turned back, and out ofthe Way, when not in use.

J is the re-door, hinged at'j, and supported bythe quadrants, I, when opened to a horizontal plane; and when in this position, it constitutes an extremely convenient table.

` B is the bake-oven; and

G, the Warming-oven, for plates, Ste.

D is asl1-pan, arranged in the usual manner.

E is the coal-cell or fuel-receptacle, arranged at the base, and within the casings ofthe range.

F is stationary boiler.

O is coldvwater pipe.` Y

Q and U are pipes leading to Water-back V, in rear side ,of fire-place.

Hotwater passes back to the boiler F through pipe S.

I is a waste-pipe, leading to the outside ofthe apartment, through which the Water in boiler F and kettle H may be drawn oii, when desired, by means of cocks M and N.

Kettle H is connected to Water-back V', in front part of lire-place, as shown in iig. 4. v

Z. is a space, partitioned at the side of fire-place A,

forming an oven, in which tea and coffee may be kept hot.
